Snow

It’s been a long time since I have seen snow like this. I decided to go for a little stroll around Brighouse this morning.

A new year landscape

Happy New Year!

I thought it has been a while since I’d published any new landscape shots. This is not because I haven’t taken any but I have been busy shooting pictures for the 2011 Wakefield Hospice calendar so I can’t show them until the calendar comes out. I have also been busy shooting an article on star trails for the March issue of Digital SLR User magazine.

Today I went for a quick walk to Ogden Water to blow away the cobwebs and to enjoy the snow. As well as the snowy landscape, some ducks caught my eye.

Touched by a card

I was very touched to receive a thank you card from little Joshua. Josh made this card at the nursery for me as a thank you for taking pictures of him at Lotherton Hall

I went along to the Grid’s Christmas dinner for a spot of networking. It was snowing outside but inside it was warm and friendly They provided a Christmas curry which went down really well. Once again a massive thank you to the good people at the Grid for all their help and support this year.

Youth theatre

Once again Iwas blown away by the talented youngsters in Bradford. I had the opportunity to photograph a theatrical performance by youth groups at the Alhambra Studios. The play was about the first Siamese Twins “Chang and Eng”. The young people did a phenomenal job tackling such a moving subject.

The Grid’s new brochure

My good friends at Averroes Design were asked to produce the Grid’s new flyer. I was asked to supply the pictures and as a result of this collaboration the Grid have a very attractive leaflet.

Swinton Insurance have just sponsored a local football team, The Royal Hotel FC by providing them with a new kit. I did a few PR shots for them.

Family fun at Lotherton Hall

I met Richie, Jo and Josh at Lotherton Hall for a lifestyle portrait session. When we arrived Josh was majorly camera shy and insisted on clinging to his dad’s leg. After a walk around the bird gardens Joshua sprang to life and started to have a fun time. Lotherton Hall has a great playground complete with helter skelter and zip line, which Josh enjoyed (along with his parents!). Having braved the cold for an hour or so we retreated to a friend’s house where Joshua fell into a hypnotic state watching Madagascar 2. The day was great fun and I’m pleased with the results - a good set of natural family photos.
